I'm trying to get back into coding as a hobby, so I wrote a really simple Python script that generates random names. Like, day 1 CS101 type stuff. Okay, being fair to myself, maybe day 2, because I defined a function and used a for loop and opened files with with statements. Point is, it's like 12 lines.

Some of these names, though.

Crunch Punchman.

Porkchop Slamstein.

Blam Largeson.

Salisbury Slamski.

Nukes are like potato chips. You can’t have just one.

I love reading through documentation about stuff I can already BS my way through because I inevitably wind up exclaiming “oh, THAT’S what that does!”

I don’t know CSS.

Or JavaScript. Or HTML, or Python, or C++. Who wrote all this stuff? Where am I? Who put these stairs here?

Seriously, a huge problem I have is coming back to a project (even one I worked on less than 24 hours ago) and just having zero idea what’s going on. It’s not like I’m pushing the boundaries of modern computing, either. I was writing a tiny, cute, simple, ugly lil codepen that changes some text and CSS based on time of day using probably too many if statements. And I have no idea how this thing I wrote works. I feel like I have to re-learn everything every time I log into my computer. I think I’m just dumb.
